Savage

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Dir: Brendan Muldowney/Ireland/2009/88 mins

savage_01

Brendan Muldowney’s remarkable low-budget feature debut is uncompromising in its portrait of the violent underbelly of city life in Ireland. With echoes of Taxi Driver, Savage unfolds with a palpable sense of dread to a devastating climax. The best Irish feature film of 2009? We think so.

Paul Graynor (Darren Healy), an alienated press photographer who lives and works in an unfriendly and threatening city, becomes victim to a serious crime. Finding himself the subject, rather than the purveyor of an inner city tabloid story, Paul tries to come to terms with his attack, though the scars – both psychological and physical prove impossible to heal. His only hope of recovering his tenderness is in his burgeoning relationship with Michelle, a nurse who he met through her caring for Paul’s once violent, but now infirm father. Savage is an exploration of violence and masculinity, and studies, in forensic detail, Paul’s metamorphosis, from victim to avenger.

NB: This screening will be introduced by the filmmakers.

DATA Presents: A New Media Nostalgia

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

about

A Dublin Art and Technology Association panel discusion @ Darklight ‘09: The use of the newest technology in art is still sometimes viewed with suspicion - only when a technology becomes both ubiquitous and mainstream is it fully accepted. When a technology becomes obsolete, a futher transformation occurs and it becomes invested with a certain artistic value. Brand new technologies in their day – think the slide projector, the 16mm projector and the needle on the record – all carry with them now this repurposed sense of artistic significance. What will happen, however, when analogue technology is no longer a point of comparison or recollection? The Big Question: is it already time already for a new media nostalgia?

This event is presented in association with BANTER.

It is October 2019, and the copyright wars are over… Who won? Who lost? Does anyone care any more? A lively discussion from first principles about how the creative landscape might look 10 years hence, addressing THE hot button topic of the hour. Darklight welcomes Anna Troberg, the Vice Chairman of the Swedish Pirate Party, to Dublin: running on a platform for copyright and patent reform, The Pirate Party received 7.1% of the vote in the recent European Elections, securing the party its first seat in the EU Parliament. At present, The Pirate Party is the third biggest political party in Sweden; its meteoric rise has inspired a number of similar parties with the same name and goals in a number of EU countries, including Ireland. Joining Anna in conversation is Irish Times journalist and blogger Jim Carroll.

Dir: Paul Miller/US/2008/100M

Nearly one hundred years after the release of D. W. Griffith’s epic The Birth of a Nation, performance artist and musician Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, has applied a ‘DJ mix’ to one of the most revered and reviled films ever made. Miller’s reading of the overt racism depicted in a Reconstruction-era South hurtles Griffith’s images into the twenty-first century, a sociopolitical landscape that has evolved beyond all expectations. Originally commissioned as a live multimedia performance, this ‘theatrical’ version features an original score by Miller, performed by Kronos Quartet.
